Lifecycle Timeline
1DescriptionCVE.org
A flaw has been found in HdrHistogram up to 2.2.2. This affects the function org.HdrHistogram.AbstractHistogram.decodeFromByteBuffer of the file src/main/java/org/HdrHistogram/AbstractHistogram.java. This manipulation of the argument numberOfSignificantValueDigits causes uncontrolled memory allocation. The attack can only be executed locally. The exploit has been published and may be used. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.
AnalysisAI
Uncontrolled memory allocation in HdrHistogram versions up to 2.2.2 allows a local low-privileged attacker to cause denial of service by passing a crafted byte buffer to the AbstractHistogram.decodeFromByteBuffer method with a malicious numberOfSignificantValueDigits value. The affected Java library fails to validate this argument before using it to drive heap allocation, allowing JVM memory exhaustion in any application that processes attacker-influenced histogram data. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires local access to a system running a Java application that uses HdrHistogram ≤ 2.2.2 and passes attacker-influenced data to AbstractHistogram.decodeFromByteBuffer. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 score of 1.9 places this at the lowest end of the severity scale, consistent with its local-only attack vector (AV:L), low-privilege requirement (PR:L), and limited availability impact (VA:L) with no confidentiality or integrity consequences. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | A local low-privileged attacker on a shared system crafts a malicious byte buffer containing an extreme numberOfSignificantValueDigits value and injects it into a data path consumed by an application using HdrHistogram - for example, by writing to a shared file, message queue, or local IPC channel. When the application calls AbstractHistogram.decodeFromByteBuffer on this buffer, the JVM attempts to allocate an unbounded block of heap memory, exhausting available RAM and crashing the application. … |
| Remediation | No vendor-released patch has been identified at time of analysis. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
